Wake up to snow. Not just any snow...but Narnia like billows of endless flakes for over 24 hours.Hannah said she prayed it would snow.prayer answered.I prayed for God to permeate the walls of my house with laughter.He answered that one too...I am so blessed. at peace.I am beyond thankful.I am amazed. May you enjoy this day.Don't just give presents...be present.Look around you.and when things are not perfect...appreciate the imperfections.make new traditions.there will never be another Christmas...just like this one....wishing you laughter.love,gina

I was eating lunch at Wahoo's on South Congress in Austin when I had to step outside so I could hear and take a call from Paige....

Why I am smiling...

Pinterest, reading The Help and waiting to see the movie, Starbucks Cinnamon Coffee in my Kuerig, Audrey Assad on Pandora, daughters, the one crazy green patch of overgrown grass in my backyard, finding the shoes that were out of stock at the store online and getting 2 day free shipping, forgiveness, dreams that seem out of reach but you try anyways, Mr. and Mrs. Cole, sun-tea, my $1 calendar from Target that serves as my agenda with all it's scribbles, dates, scratched out dates, plans and to do lists, listening to my girls and their friends playing Ipod American Idol in my little living room and seeing them have simple stupid fun, avocados, InStyle magazine, trusting that things end for a reason, and finally letting go.

I wonder who this cute little boy in a dress could be?

This is Me....

I am a mom with a camera. Photography is more than just a hobby for me. My daughters knew they would have their lives logged in photographs....first steps, birthday parties, Christmas mornings, missing teeth, first days of school, dance recitals, wondering,exploring, growing and dreaming...all on film. Moments you can't get back. But having a chance to capture that split second makes the camera the greatest invention ever!!! I teach high school journalism. I love coffee and good conversation, pasta, pinot grigio, high heels, animal crackers, laughing, Autumn, finding a book that makes me want to hurry and get everything done so I can curl up and read, but more than all of these things I love God. I let Him down on a daily basis and He never leaves me...He chases me down and brings me back. Wow. I know he planted this dream in my heart and He will see me through until it is complete. Smiling.
